Students attend enrichment days
Ettalong Public School Year 5 students have taken part in the Gifted and Talented Enrichment Days held at Brisbane Water Secondary College's Umina campus.
Students experienced what it is like to work in a number of fields including journalism and visual arts over a week, starting Monday, June 13.
"Mrs Martin and Year 9 peer mentors led 25 rookie-reporters in a simulated newsroom to respond to scenarios and compile reports including sport and entertainment articles," said instructor Ms Sheree Gilchrist.
"Students were busy on computers to meet deadlines and earned their pizza lunch break as well as a musical performance from our Year 9 elective music group," she said.
